A sister raised an important concern: some men misuse the concept of a wife's obedience and use it to pressure her into becoming a servant for their mother. But let's be clear: Your wife is not your mother's maid. She is not obligated to live with her in-laws. She is not obligated to serve her mother-in-law or father-in-law. And she is not required to do whatever your family asks of her. If she chooses to serve them out of kindness, love, and a desire to make her husband happy, then that is good and praiseworthy—but it does not mean that she is their servant or that it is an obligation upon her. Islam gives everyone rights and responsibilities. We cannot take one Islamic principle and use it to oppress others. And if people deliberately misuse the religion to take advantage of others, then Allaah will hold them accountable on Yawm al-Qiyaamah. Clip from: https://youtube.com/live/a_OT1N-czng
